Why True Sport: Sport has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember and has shaped the person I am today, but it has not always been a positive experience. Through my experiences as an athlete, coach, sports journalist, and administrator, I believe good sport can make a great difference, but when sport is unchecked and without intentional values, it can often lead to feelings of exclusion, low self-esteem, and rampant negativity. True Sport is a way to approach sport with balance and intention to create those great experiences and celebrate differences, leading to better people, better athletes, and better sport.
